Of great interest to calligraphers and penmen are the more than 300 photos of invitations, menus, place cards, programs, tickets and table cards for state dinners, banquets, dinners luncheons, and picnics. There is great variety, with some handwritten, some printed, and some engraved with many examples of pointed pen script. The examples start in the 18th century with George Washington and span into the 21st century.
